I was born in New Jersey and raised in East Brunswick. Few people know this, but I have a Master's degree in Geology. For many years I worked as an environmental consultant on job sites in many parts of the US and all over Latin America. (Bolivia and Mexico are my favorite countries.)

My environmental career came to a peak, or a pit, with my job as an international environmental liability underwriter with AIG in New York City.

In 2002, after a year of that, I quit AIG to move to Los Angeles and help Cenk and Ben Mankiewicz start up The Young Turks radio show. We put it all together ourselves, learning whatever we had to learn on our own. It's been a wild ride ever since, as we evolved into an online video show. Apart from my role as Producer of the show, I am the webmaster of this site.

When I am not at work at TYT, you can find me playing tennis or at the LA Chess Club, or riding my bike around town, or more likely, sitting in front of my computer at home helping TYT Members with their inquiries and difficulties.
